Seeing that this brat wasn't even going to act anymore, Luo Xuanqing really wanted to teach him a lesson.
But she was ranked fifteenth in the Second Rank, and she handed in her paper early, despite the rules stipulating that she had only 15 minutes left—a testament to the confidence of a strong person.
But this brat handed in his paper right on time, which didn't violate the rules.
As her direct supervisor, if she can't handle this kind of behavior, how can she ever hold her head high in front of this brat again?
Therefore, after a moment's thought, she still adopted the demeanor of a female boss who always keeps her word:
"I always keep my word. If I say I'll remove something, I will remove it. I would never renege on my promise. Watch closely."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xuanqing raised his hand and waved it lightly.
Whew~
Clatter~
The main room door closed, the lights went out, and the room immediately went dark.
Because it was raining outside and there was no moonlight, and there was no light inside, the entire room became a dark room, making it difficult to see anything at all. A soft rustling sound...
Ye Xingge was stunned. Although he heard the sound of clothes being taken off in front of him, he couldn't see anything. Wasn't that the same as not winning?
Is this still the wealthy and generous Three Feet One was?
" Sister Luo, isn't this getting boring?"
Whoosh~
As soon as Ye Xingge finished speaking, the soft fabric was thrown onto his face, still carrying a faint warmth and body fragrance.
Luo Xuanqing sat in the dark room, her cheeks burning, instinctively covering her chest. Since Ye Xingge couldn't see anything, she wasn't exactly mortified; in fact, she even displayed a touch of the smugness of a carefree imperial concubine.
"I am willing to accept defeat. If you can't see it, can you blame me?"
Ye Xingge caught the soft nightgown and couldn't really argue, since the rules didn't say that you couldn't turn off the lights if you took off your clothes.
Fortunately, the rules didn't say you couldn't turn on the lights!
Ye Xingge pondered for a moment, then reached for his waist and took out a tinderbox:
"Phew~"
The dim firelight illuminated the small couch.
Two feet away, the stunningly beautiful imperial concubine, sitting upright, came into view. Her cheeks were flushed, and she even had a hint of pride.
Her fair, delicate shoulders shone brightly in the firelight, and although Guagua was being held in an arm, her slender arms couldn't completely conceal the snowy scene.
Below that is a slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, a very beautiful navel, and a waistline that is as if carved from mutton fat jade, exuding a natural beauty.
Because they were still seated cross-legged, facing each other, they certainly couldn't see the Three Feet One mark, but today, at this humble gate...
What the hell?!
Ye Xingge's pupils contracted slightly, but unfortunately, before he could get a closer look, it was:
call
A sudden gust of wind arose in front of me, and Guagua rapidly magnified before my eyes!
Thump~
The flames vanished, and a voice filled with shame and anger rose from directly above:
"You brat, are you rebelling? Who gave you permission to light the lamp?!"
Ye Xingge was pinned down. Although it was dark and he couldn't see, he could clearly feel the pressure.
" Sister Luo didn't say we can't light lamps, so this isn't breaking the rules, is it?"
"You..."
Luo Xuanqing's face flushed red as he gritted his teeth and snatched the tinder from Ye Xingge's hand.
Ye Xingge definitely wouldn't give in, hiding his hands behind his waist, letting the Three Feet One- tall man rub against him in various ways.
Crackle...
However, after the two had been playfully fighting in the dark for a short while, Luo Xuanqing's ears twitched slightly. She covered Ye Xingge's mouth and turned to look at the bedroom window:
"Shh~"
Ye Xingge frowned upon seeing this and listened intently.
Tap tap tap...
Footsteps sounded outside the alley, growing louder as they approached...
A light drizzle was falling in Stone Bridge Alley.
An Yurou, dressed in a silver-white peacock dress, walked slowly with an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, followed by Da Xiyue carrying a food box.
Xiyue heard about Ye Xingge's impressive record today, and couldn't help but worry. As she walked, she whispered:
"Young Master Ye's performance today was truly frightening. Great General Cao even gave him a cultivation technique; what will happen in the future...?"
As a spy for the Later Zhou dynasty, An Yurou was naturally astonished by Ye Xingge's exaggerated achievements.
Fortunately, even after eliminating five Third Rank, he still managed to climb less than forty places, and moving up will only be slower.
Moreover, such a whirlwind opportunity is hard to maintain every day, so getting into the top First Rank every six months is still incredibly difficult.
An Yurou's plan was to collect evidence of the crimes of powerful figures, have Ye Xingge "plead for the people," and sow discord among the powerful figures of the Great Yan, thereby luring Ye Xingge back to the Later Zhou.
An Yurou came here because she discovered that Han Feng's son, the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, had lost too much money gambling, set up a scheme to swindle a merchant out of his entire fortune, and even killed him.
Marquis Han Feng, the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, was one of the two top retainers of the Cao family. When her father was forced to his death, he stood next to Murong Xie, a confidant of the Yan Emperor. An Yurou's original plan was to visit Ye Xingge and take the opportunity to steer the conversation to this topic.
To put it simply, it means acting like Diaochan, sowing discord.
But this matter is about eliminating a scourge for the people. Even if she doesn't say anything, given Ye Xingge's style of doing things, he will probably investigate it once he finds out.
At this moment, An Yurou walked into Stone Bridge Alley, thinking that Xuanqing was teaching this boy martial arts.
But before they even got close to the white-walled, gray-tiled house, they could faintly hear some movement inside. Their brows furrowed, they stopped, and called out from outside the wall:
" Xuanqing?"
Inside the dark room.
Luo Xuanqing, completely naked, covered the man's mouth. Upon discovering that Lady of Anyang had unexpectedly run over, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly reached for her nightgown, but had no idea where the brat had put it. She could only force herself to remain calm and reply:
" Lord An, what brings you here? I just finished showering and am changing. Please wait a moment..."
Changing clothes?
Lady of Anyang is no outsider. He heard from the Heaven-Observing Decree Luo Xuanqing was to teach him martial arts today, and he only came over after learning that Ye Xingge had returned. He thought for a moment and asked:
"The cook at the manor prepared a late-night snack. I heard Ye Xingge was back, so I had extra prepared and sent over..."
Gibberish...
Ye Xingge lay motionless on the couch, completely oblivious to what the landlady was saying.
After all, the Great Beauty Luo was looking for her skirt. After touching it a few times, she leaned forward slightly and searched above his head.
This wouldn't normally be a problem, but since the Great Beauty Luo had initially held him down, she didn't dare make any big movements, so she leaned forward, naturally lowering her body. Ye Xingge could clearly feel that Guagua seemed to be hovering directly above his cheek, and he could even feel its warmth and the subtle airflow it created... To help search, Ye Xingge picked up the tinderbox again:
"Phew~"
The dim firelight once again illuminated the tea table, and the hanging clock swayed a few inches away...
hiss?!
Ye Xingge's pupils contracted, and he felt as if it were already dawn.
Luo Xuanqing was busy touching her skirt when she suddenly saw a light. Startled, she quickly shrank back and blew a breath towards the firelight.
"Whew!"
The tinderbox burned even brighter!
Luo Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pressed down the tinderbox and raised his hand to beat the brat.
thump thump °
Outside the courtyard, An Yurou heard a series of strange, subtle noises and her expression was very peculiar.
" Xuanqing, what... what are you doing?"
Luo Xuanqing's eyes flashed with panic, but he forced himself to remain calm and replied:
"It's nothing, I was just looking for my clothes. Ye Xingge went out on patrol, she's not here."
"Yeah?"
An Yurou wasn't stupid, but Xuanqing was having an affair with his subordinate, and she couldn't just "come along and force herself on," so she had to abandon the idea of becoming Diaochan.
"No need to get up. I was just asking. You should get some rest too."
"Okay, take care, Lord An."
Tap tap tap...
Soon, the footsteps faded into the distance, and the room fell silent again.
Ye Xingge lay on the couch, not daring to move, and only looked up after the footsteps had faded away.
By the faint glow of the tinderbox, one could see that the Great Beauty Luo was lying on top of him, her face flushed, glancing towards the door, still holding his right hand. Her profile was truly picturesque.
Looking down, Guagua was pressed against his chest, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see Three Feet One behind his waist...
You still dare to watch?!
Ye Xingge quickly closed her eyes. "No, no, no, I was just lighting the lamp to help Sister Luo find her clothes."
Luo Xuanqing didn't dare to get up at this moment, but forced himself to maintain the demeanor of a female boss and said coldly:
"You can't give me the clothes?!"
" Sister Luo bumped into me just now, and I don't know where I lost it..."
"You..."
Luo Xuanqing gritted his teeth and looked around, only to find that the nightgown was indeed nowhere to be found. It had probably slipped under the chessboard behind Ye Xingge's head. He immediately reached for the Fate-Robbing Saber, making a gesture as if to castrate the piece...
"Huh?!"
Ye Xingge's expression changed slightly, and he grabbed Great Beauty Luo's wrist:
" Sister Luo, that's not right. If I had known Sister Luo couldn't handle losing, I would have gone easy on you..."
"Ha?"
Luo Xuanqing held the knife, his eyes slightly cold.
"Who can't afford to lose? I haven't honored the bet!!"
Ye Xingge gripped his wrist, looking slightly innocent.
Why did Sister Luo hit me?
I won't beat you up if you light a lamp?
Luo Xuanqing wanted to refute, but since it was a bet, her not letting him see her naked was indeed a bit of an overbearing clause. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, yes, you're right. I'm willing to accept my loss, hmph..."
After saying that, he extinguished the tinderbox completely and spun around lightly.
Whoosh~
Ye Xingge a lightness on his body, and before he could react, he heard a sound coming from not far away:
The bedroom door closed, accompanied by the sounds of it being bolted, the blanket being pulled back, and someone pulling the covers over their head...
"Huh?"
Ye Xingge sat up:
" Sister Luo, don't be angry..."
"Why am I angry? Do you think I can't take a joke?"
His voice was deliberately nonchalant, but it immediately followed with a sentence:
"Go back to sleep and practice your kung fu. If you don't master the Great Nine Yang in three days, I'll break your legs!"
"Ah?"
Ye Xingge shrugged slightly, but still said, "Okay, I'll do my best." Then he relit the tinderbox and searched again.
A white, soft nightgown slipped down to the floor behind the armrest of the tea table.
Ye Xingge picked up her nightgown and looked towards the bedroom:
"I'll bring the dress in for Sister Luo!"
"No need! I don't want it."
Don't want it anymore?
Ye Xingge thought that the Great Beauty Luo was truly extravagant, so he naturally accepted the collection. He then said:
"Then I'll head back now. Sister Luo, get some rest. I'll go to the yamen to be punished myself tomorrow."
There was no response from inside the room.
Ye Xingge said goodnight again before tiptoeing out the door and quickly entering the rain.
Tap tap tap...
Luo Xuanqing lay between the curtains, his large, ram-like body wrapped in the blankets, his face covered as he tried to suppress his emotions.
Once the footsteps had completely disappeared, Luo Xuanqing's buzzing head finally cleared a bit. He glanced back furtively at the window, his face burning, then pulled the blanket over his face, muttering to himself:
That brat...
Luo Xuanqing Luo Xuanqing, how could you be so arrogant?
Knowing this kid is talented, why go easy on him? Isn't that just throwing the game away for nothing?
If this continues, what kind of aloof fairy will she be?
Just buy it directly...
